I just got my shroud too and it is so much of a physical difference and it looks way better (it also changes the caps lock and windows lock indicator to a little circle)

I just shelved out my Techware Phantom TKL after 4 years of good service. Planned to retire it but decided to just give it to my gf. I didn't know these upgrades like switch replacement and shroud but thank God I saw your vids. I love your enthusiasm with tecware products, Phantom keybs really was so so so ahead of its time. Best keyboard I've ever bought.

Word of advice: don't try spray lubing again, you can get lube over the contacts and then you'll have issues registering keypresses

Wonder how much room is in the board for foam / dampening and how much difference that makes to acoustics.

@spykirbine1689 3 жыл бұрын

I tried foaming it. About half an inch from the bottom cannot be foamed, and an inch at the top too. You can still foam the alphanumeric area though. The result is a fuller sound and less ping, which is nice. I’d recommend doing it

yeah, same question. I've also got that keyboard, it's very nice but I hate the switches (I've got brown), wanted to swap them for Gateron Yellows like you did but the LED is the question

My daughter have the sampe keyboard, it has 1 cons I dont like: No removable USB Type-C. I have a Spectre Pro and Phantom L (Low Profile), they have a removable USB Type-C Port, so i don't have to swap the cable if change to another keyboard. I wish Tecware release a new keyboard TKL like a Phantom Elite (hotswap) with a removable USB Type-C Port, and some new set 2-3 tone color of PBT keycaps.
